GScript is a lot more structured also, it takes a more object-oriented approach to programming and attempts to modularise things into weapons, classes, database NPCs, etc so that to someone new coming along, they make more sense and have relatively specific purposes.

I guess there are similarities; VB will have functions and variables just the same as GScript does, because these are quite fundamental to most scripting languages, but you will find that the accepted ways of doing things are quite different.
I do know a little C++/PHP syntax, from the few snippets I've read it seems to make sense in my head.
Is there anywhere other than the wiki to learn? Or is that where everything goes(Apart from the forums too :P )
